Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Linda Park’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Linda Park – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Linda Park and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Linda Park production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Linda Park’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Linda Park and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

Does the writer bore us to death by describing the wallpaper or does he know that description means action! Does the writer integrate action with description to assure the hero becomes part of the scene rather than another ashtray in the room? Instead of writing a general description of a room, have the hero enter, walk past the hideous wallpaper, knock over dirty ashtrays and flop onto the oversized couch. The writer just described the room using action! This is vital in writing for a visual medium because it involves the reader in the story and it creates moving pictures. It also helps the writer avoid overwriting unnecessary description. If you can’t help but write about the wallpaper, then you’re a novelist not a screenwriter.
Hero’s Scene Integration
Linda Park – One of the worst pieces of advice I’ve seen in screenwriting books is to make sure every scene has a beginning, middle and an end. Imagine the writer’s about to reveal a killer by pulling back his cloak, then at the last second the scene ends. Oh, but wait, according to Hollywood gurus we need to see who the killer is to provide an ending. What crap! It’s far better to get into the scene in the middle and end before the scene reveals too much information. This creates tremendous suspense and drives the hero’s story forward. Soap operas have been around for 30+ years by using this technique in every single scene! Try it and watch your work suddenly get the attention it deserves.
Hero’s Scenes: Beginning, Middle and End
So defining theme has always seemed like a slippery process to me. Different people can pull vastly different interpretations of the theme of a story from the same story. And even if you can cleverly distill the meaning of a story into one sentence… admit it, you’re not really covering everything that the story is about, are you?
Linda Park – The trouble is, I personally think it’s closer to the soul of that movie to say: “It’s the little, ordinary actions we do every day that add up to true heroism.”
How about this? “A man is never truly alone who has friends” is a great statement of the theme of It’s a Wonderful Life. (And stated overtly in the end of that movie.)
I’ve also heard a lot that the theme of Romeo and Juliet is “Great love defies even death.” Except that – in the end, they’re dead, right? So how exactly is the love defying death? Risking death and losing, maybe. Inspiring people to be better people because of their deaths, maybe.
